Had a loaner P100D-L the other day while my 2013 Model S was in the shop.
I noticed the small green "Headlight On" indicator on the center dash was on all the time, even in the daytime. On my car it is off during the day when only the DRLs are running. The indicator would stay on even if I manually turned the headlights off.
This caused me to further investigate the headlights. It appears to me that the facelift cars just use the regular low-beam LED headlights as DRLs during the daytime and no longer have the parking light "eyebrow" DRL . The "eyebrow" only seems to operate at the lower parking light level now.
Have I got this right, or was there perhaps something wrong with the loaner I had? Personally, I don't care for this "new look" from an aesthetic point of view.
